Yangon residents did venture outside on Sunday to look for building materials with which to repair their home. Many found that prices for materials, food and gasoline have skyrocketed. Some were angry the military-led government had done little so far to help them.

"Where are all those uniformed people who are always ready to beat civilians?" said one man, who refused to be identified for fear of retribution. "They should come out in full force and help clean up the areas and restore electricity."
